    You cannot get any money out of a pension until you are 55 and even then only 25% in cash, the rest must provide and income.

    If you only have a very small pension(s) worth less than 16,500, you can get all the money out in cash when you're 60.
    Trying to keep it simple...;)

    £23pm is barely worth the effort though. Not bad 23 years ago but then look what £23 bought you back then. You should have kept it up with inflation.
